New Collections on Ancestry.com

Was cleaning up my mother’s record in my file, adding Photos of the houses that I had taken on Friday, I noticed a shaky leaf, in fact 4 hints to look at. A record from the U.S. Cemetery and Funeral Home Collection [database on-line] Provo, UT, USA, Ancestry.com Operations, Inc, 2011. That was cool, had that. But I was totally taken aback with the next hit.

This is the entry, on the page, from the Church Registry, of my mother’s Baptism.

The very interesting thing here, is that on Friday, past, I took this photo:

I know that Font, both my brother, father and I were Baptized at this same font in 1949. I just happened to take this picture and to find this Church Record is awesome.

The Pennsylvania church records database on Ancestry really is amazing! I was able to find a great-uncle’s baptism in Pittsburgh. Was pleasantly surprised to see it listed his parent’s place of birth in Hungary, too! I’ve been trying to figure out where this uncle’s family came from, for years.. but a search of his name brought up that record.🙂

Nice find, Russ. What a beautiful baptismal font. I have ancestors from Honey Brook, near West Chester. They left in 1840 to go to Drumore Township in Lancaster County. Maybe my family knew yours?🙂

About this Blog

The purpose of this Blog has changed over time. What started out to be an online version of some old Worthington Descendant Newsletters.
It has become a way to journal about my adventure into Family History, sometimes called Genealogy.
The change for me is more about finding out the stories behind the names and dates that I find about the people I find in my research.
